these pictures are absolutely beautiful. how fascinating. the colors are brilliant! and such neat shapes and lines to follow and stare at! i really like these a lot!

I am actually quite afraid of snakes and lizards…but the colors of these snakes, especially against the black background are beautiful. I have questioned myself, of how I can even say that especially regarding how dangerous some of these snakes can be? But I must admit the photographs are amazing.

Can anyone Identify the types of snakes – specifally the 1st set of snakes, the red, yellow, and blue/green

I have continued in my searching for what type of snake is in the 1st picture – and I’m wondering now if it is an Eyelash Viper – Bothriechis schlegelii
